Pee can vs. Pecan(原创)

       
       我当护士学生(student nurse)在心脏科(Cardiac Unit)实习时，给一位有意大利口音的、严重低血压的病人送去他的晚餐。那天恰巧是他的82岁生日，医院厨师特意加给他一份小蛋糕。他却对我说 ：“I need a pee can now。” pee是口语小便的意思；can有罐、壶、桶之意。我以为他要pecan(核桃)蛋糕。就回答不确定今晚厨房是否有，但我会去问。他急了，"No. You don't understand what I just said. I want a pee can because I need to pee pee." 我恍然大悟，他要的是urinal(尿壶)。咱再笨也得明白呀，pee pee这词还是儿子上Daycare第一天后给他的老土妈扫的盲的！叹自己受训的是标准的医学护理用词urinal，哪料到他以为我是外国人，想用最简单的孩童用语来沟通，而且Pee can又是他独创的新词，还带意大利口音。 两个音的接近使我闹了个笑话。带队的指导老师和同组的美国同学们听完我的复述后，个个捧腹大笑.....那是我们临床实习时师生们最愉快、最放松的一个晚上。

 哼，还笑？以后碰上个中国病人，让他们也说说怪词来考考你们美国护士。
